David’s journey into video production began long before he ever picked up a camera. As a child, he watched his engineer father tinker, invent, and rebuild, sparking in him a lifelong fascination with how things work—and how they can be transformed into something new. That childhood spirit of discovery and hands-on problem-solving became the spark that fueled David’s creativity.
Driven by a passion to understand and create, David completed four years of university studies in Electronic Engineering. Eager to blend his technical skills with the art of storytelling, he continued his education at UCLA, diving into the world of Recording Engineering. The energy and excitement of Hollywood’s studios opened a new chapter, as David found himself captivated not just by sound, but by the limitless potential of video to inspire and connect.
It was there, amid reels of film and stories waiting to be told, that David discovered his calling. Since 1990, he has poured his heart into crafting videos that do more than inform—they move people, forge connections, and tell stories that linger long after the credits roll. For David, every project is a chance to turn curiosity into creativity, and to share the magic of storytelling with the world
